Playstation Network - General Discussion Thread

[Myth]

We have one for Live so why not a PSN one for discussion.

As posted earlier todays update was a good one.

Heavenly sword demo
crash 2
medieval
spyro 2
haze trailer
assassins creed trailer
RE5 trailer
open season trailer
talledega nights trailer

Out of that I reckon I'll end up with all 3 PS1 games along with the Heavenly Sword demo hopefully will hear some impressions as my net isnt the fastest in the world so I'm sure some of you lot will have it before me.

[Greg Moss]

No Syphon Filter again? Oh well, suppose I'll have to make do with the Heavenly Sword demo for now.

[JP]

Not a new release as such but I thought it was worth mentioning that many of the PSP/PS3 downloads in the JP Store now have screen shots in the listing so if you can't read the language you can at least work out what the game is that you're tempted to buy.

Japanese updates today:
Wild Arms...

This was a top rate RPG and had better get a release over here!!!

[ChrisF]

Did anyone think the Haze trailer looked crap? Whats with that live action bloke? I was really psyched for this game after watching some stuff on Gamer TV but this trailer left me not giving a toss about the game.

[Myth]

Haze trailer was a bit naff but other footage I've seen has looked great so I'm still wanting it pretty badly.

Gonna shove a fiver in my wallet to add to the £3.04 in there at the moment which means I can get 2 of the PS1 games.

Which do you lot recommend out of the 3 new ones? I have played and enjoyed all 3 games years ago but cant remember how well they've aged.

[JP]

Um...two lots of Heavenly Sword wallpaper on the US Store!

[hudson]

Just looked and the Tekken 5 Dark Resurrection Online game is there also up there for 2000 Yen!

I really wish we could have the option to view the JP Store in English as we're probably missing out on some really good stuff like this.

wtf?
I downloaded this last night and installed it just now, however it seems to be normal Dark resurrection I checked back on the store just now to find no such game. Was it all a dream?

[JP]

you're right, it's gone?? It was definately up there as Tekken 5: Online though...

I wonder if it's something to do with this? Tekken 5 Dark Resurrection

Maybe the update will arrive on the 1st as it says there? It does seem strange that they announce it for the 1st as it was already posted in the Store!!

Is there no option to update it in the game? Maybe you'll have to download the update on the 1st?

[hudson]

hope so, coz at the moment i've bought dr twice now \o/

[phorenzik]

I nearly bought it by mistake too. I think the confusion has arised because DR is back on the main page to drum up some sales, and on the right-hand side in the 'what's new' section there is a movie of DR online. Maybe Evolution One saw that and assumed that online was up?

Or maybe they did actually release it by accident for a couple of hours and that was what he saw?

[JP]

It seems unlikely to be honest as the online version has online written all over the game logo in 8ft letters lol...well not that size but it's fairly big!

I wonder if it's some thing to do with this?

The update to make the standard version online is out on the 1st or if you don't have the offline version you can just buy the online one straight off.

I was tempted to download it and even added the online version to my basket but thought it was a little daft as I had the UK Tekken 5 and I imagine the update will be out here fairly shortly...hopefully.

[phorenzik]

I bought DR from the HK store, but as it's the Japanese version I'm assuming that the JP online patch would work fine with it?

If I take the plunge I'll let everyone know if it works/how good it it.

[Randella_uk]

let me know mate if it works as i got the HK version and now got JPN yen to spend on my account

[Yoshimax]

Resi5 wallpaper ? I didn't see wallpapers anywhere is there a specific section for that or do you just click Resi5 and it'll list all the available content ?

[ChrisF]

Its on the USA store... I think I found it on page 2 of the front page (if that makes sense?). Along with the Heavenly Sword wallpaper. They say "IMAGE" as the logo.
